On my old Acorp 6BX86, there's one USB 10 pins connector.
And I don't have its original extender.

I installed it into ATX case and its 2 front USB sockets are connected by a 9 pins plug.

So I checked pinouts and it turns out that the one with 9 pins has same signals on left and right side,
while 10 pins one has left and right side rotated (see images).

I was able to connect one of front panel USB sockets by shifting the plug one row aside. But I'd like to have a nice adapter to connect both sockets.
It's not too difficult to solder one, but maybe there exists a factory made?

You ought to be able to customize the case's USB cable by (carefully) lifting the plastic retainers and arranging the pins to match. Image shows a pair of five pin connectors, but the procedure is the same.

After watching many YouTube videos about older computer hardware, YouTube began recommending videos about trains - are they trying to tell me something?

Buy some DuPont pin connectors and make an adapter. Just triple check the Vcc and ground connections, otherwise you'll blow a pico fuse on the motherboard.
